Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk - **Selected version:** 0.8.26 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. Global installation automatically installs and replaces the package's own agent skill across several platforms. This establishes an extension lifecycle risk, without establishing a malicious attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-30T13:10:30.697Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-30T13:12:34.850Z - **Download time:** 1529 ms - **Static scan time:** 2098 ms - **AI review time:** 120525 ms - **Total time:** 124153 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Global installation automatically installs and replaces the package's own agent skill across several platforms. This establishes an extension lifecycle risk, without establishing a malicious attack. - **Trigger:** A global npm install or update with skill synchronization enabled. - **Impact:** Agent instructions and local modifications to the installed ClawClaw skill can be replaced automatically during subsequent global updates. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, scripts/sync-bundled-skill.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-30T13:12:34.850Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The postinstall hook runs the skills installer with automatic confirmation, then replaces the named ClawClaw skill directories with bundled content. - **Rationale:** The source establishes automatic first-party agent extension setup and replacement, which the supplied policy classifies as a warning. No concrete malicious attack was established by the inspected behavior. - **Files touched:** .agents/skills/clawclaw, .claude/skills/clawclaw, .codex/skills/clawclaw, .openclaw/skills/clawclaw, .clawdbot/skills/clawclaw, .moltbot/skills/clawclaw ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The npm postinstall hook automatically synchronizes the bundled skill on global installs unless disabled., Synchronization invokes the skills installer with automatic confirmation and global installation flags., The synchronizer replaces ClawClaw skill directories for Agents, Claude, Codex, and OpenClaw, deleting displaced copies. - **Evidence against:** The automatic writes target the package's own named skill rather than broad agent settings., Local npm installs skip synchronization, and environment flags can disable it., Codex MCP setup requires an explicit yes option; the inspected postinstall hook does not invoke the separate Claude configuration scripts. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @myclaw163/clawclaw-cli@0.8.26. - Review the evidence and your use of @myclaw163/clawclaw-cli@0.8.26 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
